Favorite 4th of July Ideas

The Fourth of July is incredibly important to my family. As much as I shy away decorating for every dang holiday (Groundhog Day bunting, anyone?) the Fourth is a huge day of celebration of LIFE for us. For the life of my daughter. Because just about five years ago on that day, our little firecracker was born and fought incredible odds to be here. Watching fireworks from her hospital room while our hearts were grieving is simply an image I’ll never forget, and now when we see fireworks we know it represents the spark that pushed through to bring our daughter back home to us.

It’s okay if you channel your inner Katy Perry at this point. “Baby you’re a fiiiiire-worrrrrk, c’mon show them what you’re worth…”

I’m hesitant to go too crazy decor wise when it comes to the Fourth, but I found a few simple and pretty 4th of July ideas I know you’ll love. These are the type of home decor items you can keep up all summer long because they’re fresh, breezy, and heart-thumpingly patriotic. All can be DIY’ed yourself, too, so they’re easy on the budget. Which one is your favorite? There’s so many to love!

Fourth of July. Indeed a special holiday around here. Which idea was your favorite? And how much do you hate me for getting Katy Perry stuck in your head?
